As I understand it, it would not interrupt the session because the session ID
is stored in a cookie and is not needed (but not destroyed either) by the
static pages. After serving those static pages, requesting the servlet will
continue on with the session.
I think you may be confused as to what the session is. In other words the
'session' to which you are reffering is not a session in continuous sense such
that you can break it (database, ftp...). It's like some state that is saved
until some change is made to that state. The way to get to a given state is by
the session ID. The session can end as a result of timeout but can't really be
broken.
The session cannot be maintained through static page serving when only URL
rewriting is used.
